There is no one way to break into book reviewing. Joining the National Book Critics Circle provides members with access to several hundred professional reviewers and review editors through our yearly meeting in NYC, and through several panels and conferences involving NBCC members around the country throughout the year. Members also receive our guidelines for pitching publications around the country (a packet that comes complete with contact information for review editors, and an outline of the kinds of reviews they’re looking for), and we are currently compiling a membership directory, which will be available to members soon. Also available to members is former Board Member Rebecca Skloot’s helpful beginner tutorial, “Tips for Successful Reviewing.”
